Bucs are hoping Brent Grimes returns to Tampa Bay in 2018

2018 is finally here which means the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have turned their attention to the upcoming season and what the new year has in store for the franchise. In wake of the offseason officially getting underway, the Bucs began their offseason meetings to get an idea of which players will be staying and which players they may potentially be parting ways with.

Bucs cornerback Brent Grimes was among the players that had meeting with the team first thing Monday morning since he is slated to be a free agent in March, and coach Koetter confirmed that he told Grimes the team would love for him to return and remain a Bucs next season.

“Well, I tried to give him a sell job this morning and I told him we would love to have him back,” Koetter said during Monday’s press conference. “I think Brent defies his real age and there’s been other guys around the league that have been able to do that. He’s a free agent so he’s in control of it but we’d love to have him back and I told him that.”

CB Brent Grimes, who will be a UFA in March, says the Bucs told him they would like to bring him back.

Grimes is in the midst of wrapping up a two-year deal with the Buccaneers after spending time with the Miami Dolphins. The Bucs obviously want him to return in 2018, but as of now the ball is in his court and he must decide whether or not he wants to or whether he would like to pursue a job with another team this offseason.
